Hey Jaqi,
I really like this guy I’ve known since the first grade. We’re both in high school and go to different schools. I see him almost every Sunday. I want to ask him out but i don’t know if i should. What do
you think I should do.
Morgan from Anderson
I think if you know him well and you’ve been friends you should definitely ask him out. It’s better to get to know someone before you start dating because the relationship will probably last longer. One thing I’ve learned in the last few years is that its dumb to go out with someone you couldn’t possibly be friends with. Otherwise what will you talk about and what would the point be?
Another thing, asking a guy out can sometimes be nervous-making, but it shows that you aren’t afraid of trying something different or new. Be yourself, there are guys out there who appreciate a girl with self-confidence.

I am a 14 year old pregnant teenager, I haven’t told my parents yet. My boyfriend (my baby’s father) ran away……………. HELP ME!

The first thing you should do is tell your parents that your pregnant. They’ll know what to do. They will be mad, but they will still love you and can help you. It’s best that you tell them so that you have a plan for when the baby comes. If I had to tell my parents I’d try my best to stay calm and explain to them my situation.
Also, when you start a relationship with a guy, you don’t want to skip straight to sex. It’s important to know that if a guy wants to rush into sex that might be all he wants. Those kinds of guys are usually the kind that run away from their pregnant girlfriend. I think the best way to test a guy is to tell him to wait a while. If he won’t wait, sex is all he wants; if he does wait but constantly bothers you about it, it’s all he wants; if he waits and respects your decision, then you’ve got a good guy.
Another thing… when you do find that right guy and decide to have sex… you need to use protection from now on. Not only does it keep you babyless but it keeps you STD-less which is a really good thing.
Good Luck with your parents and the baby,
Jaqi

Hello Jaqi (:
Well, I was going out with this guy for like a year. He broke up with me after his homeless dad shot me in the foot, and I was like what the heck? So then he dated my friend Kelsey, and she was all like “well, I hope we can still be friends.” Then I went around telling people I was going to kill her, like, literally. So then she like blocked me on myspace out of nowhere, and then they broke up because she was heavily on drugs. Later she sends me a myspace friend request and said, “my mom blocked you cause she didn’t want you to mess up things between me and Philip. I hope we can be friends again.”
And I do wanna be her friend again…
but idk.
My other problem is the fact that I may be too intimidating. I mean, I do dress out. I figured my personality made up for the fact that I look scary.
What should I do?

I think you should try and give this girl a chance. Find a day to go hang out with her. Go get lunch together over the weekend and catch up. If it works out then I think you should definitely try and be friends with her again.
Your other problem isn’t as bad as it might seem. Being unique is very important. Most kids don’t understand that everyone is eventually gonna change and have their own ideas and experiences. I’ve always valued my individuality. I’ve learned that some people are bothered by it and some people will also admire you for it.
Good luck with your friend and never lose your extraordinary personality.

Jaqi,
I have to start a new school soon and I’m really nervous about being “the new kid.” I don’t know what kids wear at the new school, how they act, or anything. I don’t want to make a bad impression my first day.
Oh, I will be in 10th grade ad I’ve never changed schools before.
Jessica in Chicago
What I’ve discovered from my many years of school changing is confidence is the key to a good first day. Make sure you’re not too threatening to your new classmates in any way, and it usually helps to be twice as nice as usual.
Something you should try to remember is that most people talk to the new girl as soon as they see she’s approachable. Just smile and try to have fun.
Also, about the clothes, wear something cute and flattering in colors that won’t stand out too much. Then you’ll look good, but you won’t have too many eyes on you all at once.
Good luck and have fun!

Dear Jaqi
I am 9 years old and my parents are getting divorced. how can I make them stay together?
Beverly from Queens, NY
Something every child should know is that their parents’ divorce is out of their control. It wasn’t caused by you, therefore, it can’t be fixed by you. You are unable to prevent this from happening, but if you want to help in some way, you can be supportive of your parents. You can spend more time with them and help out around the house when they’re stressed.
My parents decided to split up when I was 8 and it was very hard for me. Spending time with my parents is a lot of how I got through the divorce. I made sure that I still did the same things we used to do together with each of them. I watched movies with my dad and played games with my mom.
A divorce is a stressful and confusing time, if you keep an open mind and listen to what your parents have to say then that should help a bit.

Dear Jaqi,
I want a tattoo. My dad says no way, but I am thinking I’ll get one anyway. What would you do?
Mark in Austin, TX
I would probably not get the tattoo. Mostly because I’m scared of getting an infection. If a tattoo parlor is cheap enough to let a teenager with no parental consent get a tattoo then they’re probably not the safest place to get one. If they’re that cheap theres more of a chance you’ll get an infection and then you’d have tell your dad.
I don’t know about you but I’d be scared to have to tell my dad I have an infected tattoo that I snuck out to get.

Jaqi,
I am 12 and my boyfriend is 15. He says that if I love him, I will have sex with him. I do love him, but I am not ready. What should I do?
Name Withheld
Dear Anon,
Hit him over the head with the nearest heavy object!! If a boy is trying to get you to have sex with him when you’re not ready and he won’t take no for an answer, dump him quick! If you don’t it will just get worse. Make sure you dump him in public (just a suggestion, some guys really don’t like the word no).
